Looks OK to me.  Just two nits: could you consider
s/CS_REGNUM/I386_CS_REGNUM/?  And I believe the GNU coding standards
say that one shouldn't introduce unecessary whitespace.  Therefore I
have some problems with the extra newlines you're introducing.

Are you planning to add this before we cut the branch?  I'm a little
uncomfortable with adding any new features just before doing so.
